Function with something like [2:*] as input [message #87137]

Hi,

Could anybody help on how I can write a function so that the input will be something like the indices of an array:

For example, my function would accept a call of this format:

a= my_function([1:3]) ; to say that it will process element 1 to 3 of an array
a= my_function([[1:*]) ; to say that it will process everything from element 1 to the end. This is because most of the time, I would not know how many data I have in some array.

My problem is that I can not see how I can read that input from within the function.

I am not sure this makes sense but it will facilitate the analysis of my data.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andry
